Select the false statement regarding fat.
They provide less energy than carbohydrates.
The correct answer is They provide less energy than carbohydrates.
Fat gives about 9 kcal/g, whereas carbohydrate gives about 4 kcal/g, so fat provides more, not less, energy — the statement is false.
The others are true: subcutaneous fat insulates and regulates body heat; fats are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen; and phospholipids with proteins form the cell membrane (fluid mosaic model).
Short trick: Fat = 9, Carbs = 4 — fat always gives more.
